BookAmazoneChapter 57 Winning Back Her Heart As Sebastian spoke, his large hand rested on Joey's head, giving it a few gentle rubs, his eyes were gentle as he looked at her. It seemed like the hhe mentioned was their beloved nest.
Joey felt a pang in her heart. The scene of her leaving that hflashed through her mind once again. She remembered how much she had invested in that hand how much it had pained her to leave back then. Her fingertips trembled slightly, but she maintained a calm expression as she looked at Benjamin. "Dad, I'm worried about you. I want to stay with you for a few more days." "What are you worried about? We have servants at home. You two have just reconciled and need to strengthen your relationship. You've already done enough for me, and I can't stand in the way of your life any longer." After Benjamin's repeated persuasion, Joey got into Sebastian's car. It was the first tthey had sat together in silence without arguing since their separation.

I'll buy you a few as a thank-you for playing along within this act for the past few days." Sebastian turned to look at her, his eyes revealing an inscrutable expression. "Joey, did we actually meet earlier than three years ago?" Joey's grip on her phone tightened, and her heartbeat quickened. But there was no trace of panic on her face. She faintly curved her lips and said, "No, we didn't." "Then why did you agree to my request back then?" He finally asked the question that had been weighing on his mind, but his palms were sweaty. He held the steering wheel, seemingly calm, waiting for Joey's answer.
Joey replied nonchalantly, "Because you're Sebastian, the ideal man for all women in B City. Why wouldn't I agree when I had such a great opportunity to be with you? I don't think anyone would have refused." She spoke the truth. Sebastian was handsand wealthy, the prince of the prestigious Winters family in B City. Even if it meant being his secret lover or a mistress, many women would jump at the chance.
A smile tugged at the corner of Sebastian's lips, but his heart was filled with an inexplicable bitterness. This wasn't the answer he wanted, nor was it what Joey truly desired.
If Joey were like any other woman, she wouldn't have left without taking anything with her. She wouldn't have let three years pass without touching the black card he had given her.
Sebastian used to think that Joey was playing hard to get, intentionally putting on a show to win his heart and secure the position of Mrs. Winters Jr. But now, knowing that she was unaware of what happened three years ago, he felt that perhaps things weren't as he had imagined.
There must be something that Joey was keeping from him.

Before she could take a few steps, a strong hand wrapped around hem shoulder Sebastian's deep and magnetic voice sounded in her ear. "Why didn't you wait for me?"
Joey tried to break free, but Sebastian's grip was vice-like, holding her tightly. She reluctantly looked up at him and said, "Sebastian, this is the largest mall in B City, a gathering place for the wealthy. Do you want to make the headlines tomorrow?"
Sebastian gazed at her rosy lips and couldn't help but lean down and give her a kiss. His voice was husky as he said, "It's not like that would be something new to me." "But it would be new to me, and I don't want it. We started as President and secretary, and I want to end it the sway. It's better for both of us, isn't it?"
